Memo To Obama

General, how about due process and right to privacy? Aren't we giving up these Constitutional freedoms under the current administration?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to be placing an Obama sign in my yard any time soon, but we must be intellectually honest with our political criticism. If not, we are just rooting for our "team."
John McCain certainly isn't distancing himself from the Bush Administration and their policies, even after they dishonored his military service during the 2000 Republican Primary. He lost my respect when he aligned himself so steadfastly with them following that ugly primary.
Let's all make an informed decision about what's best for our country.

I agree. The nitty gritty is that the dollar is strengthening once again, price of fuel is dropping, the economy is turning around and growing, new construction is everywhere, unemployment is falling, no terrorism, attacks on our troops is at the lowest level ever!!!

Committing crimes against U.S. citizens in the name of liberty? You tell me the crimes. Wire tapping, collection phone records, email reading? This has all been done before during the the Clinton and Carter years. Provide a better way of protecting the good of the many at the expense of the one or the few?

Who's fault is it that China is a Global Superpower? Not the current government my friend. It's United States Citizens. They refuse to buy products made in this Country!!!

Think 50% tax rate is bad - if the Liberals win, IT WILL BE 70%. That's no exaggeration. You and I will spend less, the economy will faultier. Employers will layoff workers. Businesses will have to close lessing healthy competition. Unemployment will sky rocket. The dollar will loss ground.

Here's my opinion as a voting American Citizen in the United States Presidential Election.

Instead of Obama & Biden's so called 'CHANGE', I would rather have a U.S. Naval graduate that flew ground attack missions from a aircraft carrier that retired from the Navy as a captain. A two term member of the House of Representatives. Then elected to the U. S. Senate. Winning re-election easily in 1992, 1998, and 2004. While adhering to conservative principles and possessing the media’s reputation for being a "maverick" for disagreeing with his party. Then add Palin to the equation. She’s also a reformer. As governor she has raised billions for Alaska and her people. Now every Alaskan receives a $1,200 rebate check from the oil companies. Palin publicly made it known that fellow legislators where taking oil company bribes. Can you think of another DFL politician who’s done anything of the sort?

In the history of the United States - no Presidential Election will have a greater impact on the citizens of this Country.

Perhaps opinions will not change, however if this country is to survive, they will need to.

Holding US citizens in prison camps without any due process is criminal! If they are terrorist, then let's charge them as such.
How many products on our shelves are made in the USA? I searched the shelves high and low last Christmas trying to find products that weren't made in China. Let me tell you, there wouldn't have been anything for my kids to open on Christmas morning, if I had stuck to my guns and bought only US products.
Saying that the US economy is strong, is like sticking to the Iraq weapons of mass destruction argument. A country's economy is fading when another Country holds (China)$7trillion in US treasury bonds. We have the largest budget deficit in US history. All that from 7 years of bad policy. I thought Republicans were supposed to be Conservative. Taking a budget surplus in 2000 and turning it into this massive deficit is clearly not a conservative trait.
I could go on and on.
How about Haliburton? A company on the verge of bankruptcy in 2001, now seeing record profits from military contracts paid with our tax dollars. Did you know that this company moved their corporate office to Abu Dubai so they don't have to pay the US taxes? For those of you who don't know or remember, Dick Cheney, spent some time on Halliburton's board before becoming VP. If that doesn't get you upset with the current establishment, then you're just rooting for your team. GO TEAM.

General, Only problem is who to vote for now? Damn I wish Ron Paul was on the ticket. He may just get a write in ballot.
